Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of track equipment technology, specifically to a railway section defect intelligent detection and dynamic early warning system that integrates radar vision and AI. Background Technology

[0002] A railway is a track used by trains and other vehicles. As railways age, they develop various problems such as deformation and cracks. If these problems are not detected in time, they can lead to major accidents such as derailments.

[0003] For railway defects, the main detection methods include: 1. Manual inspection: The advantage is high freedom of inspection, allowing for inspection at various angles of the track. The disadvantages are low efficiency and safety, relying on manual visual inspection or handheld devices. For a specific section of the railway, the inspection time is long, resulting in low frequency. 2. Fixed monitoring sensors or surveillance equipment: The advantage is real-time monitoring. However, it is limited by the monitoring range and the insufficient detection effect of a single sensor. Moreover, if a specific railway section is to be fully covered, the required equipment and cost are enormous. 3. Track-mounted inspection equipment: Inspection is carried out by installing detection tools on track-mounted mobile equipment. The advantage is that it can improve the inspection frequency and efficiency to achieve the effect of covering a specific railway section. However, most current track inspection equipment uses video surveillance combined with multiple sensors for inspection. However, video surveillance and sensors are basically fixed on track-mounted mobile equipment. These monitoring devices and sensors can generally only detect the track at pre-installed angles, which makes it easy to miss some positions during inspection and unable to further detect some suspicious positions found during the inspection. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] Figures 1 to 8The image shows an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Example:

[0029] A railway section defect intelligent detection and dynamic early warning system integrating radar vision and AI includes a first car body 1, a first track wheel 2 is provided on the lower side of the first car body 1, a drive mechanism for driving the first track wheel 2 is provided inside the first car body 1, a first lighting lamp and a first detection unit 4 are provided on the lower side of the front end of the first car body 1, a configuration cavity 8 is installed inside the first car body 1, a loop conveyor belt 9 is provided in the configuration cavity 8, a number of fixed frames 10 are provided on the upper side of the loop conveyor belt 9, a second detection unit 11 or processing tool is placed on the fixed frames 10, a robotic arm 12 is installed on the upper side of the first car body 1, a clamping part 13 is provided at the free end of the robotic arm 12, and an operation port 14 connected to the configuration cavity 8 is provided on the upper side of the first car body 1. By using a first lighting lamp and a first detection unit 4 located on the lower front side of the first car body 1, the railway under the first car body 1 can be illuminated and inspected to identify potential risks. When the first detection unit 4 detects a suspected risk, a second detection unit 11 can be retrieved from the operating port 14 via a robotic arm 12. The second detection unit 11 can then be used to approach the risk location for more detailed inspection, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection. If the issue can be addressed on-site using a processing tool, the robotic arm can retrieve the tool from the operating port to address the problem promptly. The first detection unit 4 can utilize one or more of the following: a camera, an ultrasonic flaw detector, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and an electric field sensor, to achieve a wide range of detection functions. The specific selection can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0030] The mounting frame 10 includes a base plate 15, a fixing column 16 is vertically arranged on the upper side of the base plate 15, a fixing hole 17 is provided at the upper end of the fixing column 16, and an installation hole 18 is provided on the wall of the fixing hole 17. A first electric telescopic rod 19 is installed in the installation hole 18, and the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 19 is aligned with the fixing hole 17. The second detection unit 11 is mounted on the mounting frame through a fixing plate 20. A clamping block 21 and the second detection unit 11 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the fixing plate 20. A fixing rod 23 matching the fixing hole 17 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 20 of the second detection unit 11. A clamping groove 24 matching the clamping block 21 is provided on the side of the clamping member 13 away from the robotic arm 12. The loop conveyor belt 9 is a chain conveyor belt, and its conveying is controlled by a servo motor. This allows for accurate control of the loop conveyor belt 9 to align the corresponding fixed frame 10 with the operating port 14. By setting the fixed column 16 and the fixed rod 23, the second detection unit 11 can be easily fixed on the fixed frame 10 and moved together with the fixed frame 10, thereby aligning the second detection unit 11 with the operating port 14. By setting the fixed plate 20, the position and state of the second detection unit 11 when fixed on the fixed frame 10 can be standardized, thus facilitating the clamping member 13 on the robotic arm 12 to be fixed to the clamping block 21 through the clamping groove 24. By setting the first electric telescopic rod 19, after the fixed rod 23 is inserted into the fixed hole 17, the first electric telescopic rod 19 extends to press the fixed rod 23 against the fixed hole 17, thus preventing the mounting plate 5 from shaking during the movement of the loop conveyor belt 9. A fourth electric telescopic rod is provided on the wall of the clamping groove 24. The fourth electric telescopic rod abuts against the clamping block 21, fixing the clamping block 21 to the clamping groove 24. The structure is the same as the fixing fit between the fixing rod 23 and the fixing hole 17. The cross-section of the fixing rod 23 is rectangular or polygonal, and the cross-section of the fixing hole 17 is also rectangular or polygonal. This prevents the fixing rod 23 from rotating within the fixing hole 17, thus avoiding changes in the relative position of the fixing plate and the fixing clamp during the conveying process of the loop conveyor belt 9 or the movement of the first vehicle body 1. This would cause the clamping block 21 to shift from its preset position when it is ready to be clamped, resulting in the clamping block 21 not being accurately matched with the clamping groove 24. The lower end of the fixing rod 23 is pointed, which facilitates insertion into the fixing hole 17.

[0031] The fixing plate 20 has a connector 25 electrically connected to the second detection unit 11 on the same side as the clamping block 21, and the clamping member 13 has a connector slot 26 matching the connector 25 on one side of the clamping groove 24. By providing the connector slot and connector slot 26, when the clamping member 13 is connected to the clamping block 21, the second detection unit 11 can be powered and data transmitted simultaneously through the connector 25 and connector slot 26.

[0032] The cavity wall of the configuration cavity 8 is vertically provided with a guide rail 27 at the position corresponding to the operation port 14. An electric moving seat 28 is moved up and down on the guide rail 27. A second electric telescopic rod 29 is horizontally provided on both sides of the electric moving seat 28. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 29 faces the loop conveyor belt 9. An adjusting block 30 is installed on the output end of each of the two second electric telescopic rods 29. An adjusting cavity 31 is provided inside the adjusting block 30. A sliding block communicating with the adjusting cavity 31 is provided on the opposite side of each of the two adjusting blocks 30. A sliding rod 33 is slidably disposed within a movable hole 32. An electromagnet 34 is disposed on the side of an adjusting cavity 31 away from the sliding hole 32. A movable block 53 is connected to one end of the sliding rod 33, which is located within the adjusting cavity 31. A spring groove 54 is recessed on the side of the movable block 53 facing the electromagnet 34. The spring groove 54 abuts against the electromagnet 34 via a spring 35. A sliding ring groove 55 is disposed around the spring groove 54 on the side of the movable block 53 facing the electromagnet 34. An inner cylinder 56 is slidably disposed within the sliding ring groove 55. The outer cylinder 57 and the inner cylinder 56 have a first magnetic ring 58 between the electromagnet 34 and the movable block 53 on their outer walls facing the electromagnet 34. The outer cylinder 57 has a second magnetic ring 59 between the first magnetic ring 58 and the movable block 53 on its outer wall facing the electromagnet 34. The movable block 53 has a third magnetic ring 60 on its outer wall facing the first magnetic ring 58. The outer wall of the inner cylinder 56 has a first limiting groove 61 recessed axially. The outer cylinder 57 is connected to the first limiting groove via a first limiting bolt 62. The inner cylinder 56 is slidably connected to the outer cylinder 56. The electromagnet 34 is provided with a limit ring 63 at the corresponding position inside the inner cylinder 56. The outer wall of the limit ring 63 is provided with a second limit groove 64 recessed along the axial direction. The inner cylinder 56 is slidably connected to the second limit groove 64 through the second limit bolt 65. The outer wall of the outer cylinder 57 is provided with a third limit groove 71 recessed along the axial direction. The sliding ring groove 55 is slidably connected to the third limit groove 71 through the third limit bolt 72. The sliding rod 33 is connected to a clamping plate 36 at one end outside the adjusting block 30. With this setup, when the second detection unit 11 is moved to the position of the operation port 14, in the initial state, the electromagnet 34 is energized to attract the movable block 53 and compress the spring 35, so that the distance between the two clamping plates 36 is at its maximum. At this time, the two second electric telescopic rods 29 extend to drive the two clamping plates 36 to be placed on opposite sides of the fixed plate 20 respectively. Then, the electromagnet 34 is de-energized, and the two clamping plates 36 move closer to each other by a certain distance under the action of the spring 35, thereby clamping the opposite sides of the fixed plate 20. At this time, the first electric telescopic rod 19 shortens to unlock the lock on the fixed rod 23.Then, the electric moving seat 28 moves the fixed plate 20 upward to the position of the operating port 14. This allows the robotic arm 12 to quickly fix itself to the clamping block 21 at the operating port 14 using the clamping member 13. The second detection unit 11 then performs detection on a specific position. After detection, the second detection unit 11 is returned to the operating port 14, and with the help of the two clamping plates 36 and the electric moving seat 28, it is returned to the fixed frame 10. During use, to ensure the two clamping plates 36 can stably clamp the fixed plate 20 and prevent it from falling between them, silicone or rubber is provided on the opposite side of the two clamping plates 36 for anti-slip purposes. Anti-slip textures are provided on the opposite sides of the fixed plate 20. When the clamping plates 36 clamp the fixed plate 20, the silicone or rubber fits into the anti-slip textures for anti-slip. Simultaneously, to ensure the two clamping plates 36 firmly clamp the fixed plate 20, the two springs 35 are high-strength springs, with the specific strength adjusted according to design requirements. Meanwhile, to avoid insufficient precision during the movement of the loop conveyor belt 9, which could lead to slight deviations between the final stopping position of the fixed plate 20 and the preset position, a certain gap must be reserved between the maximum distance between the two clamping plates 36 and the width of the fixed plate 20. Based on these two reasons, with a large spring force, it is also necessary to ensure that the clamping plates 36 have sufficient travel space under the drive of the movable block 53. This makes it difficult to drive the movable block 53 using an electromagnet 34 in the conventional solution. Since the magnetic force will decrease significantly with the increase of the distance, this invention adopts a new structure to move the movable block 53 with a larger stroke. Specifically, the first magnetic ring 58, the second magnetic ring 59, and the third magnetic ring 60 are sequentially attracted by the electromagnet 34 to drive the movable block 53 toward the electromagnet, thereby enabling the movable block 53 to have a larger stroke. When the electromagnet 34 is de-energized, the spring 35 pushes the movable block 53 away from the electromagnet 34. During this process, the first limiting groove 61 and the first limiting bolt 62, the second limiting groove 64 and the second limiting bolt 65, and the third limiting groove 71 and the third limiting bolt 72 work together to ensure that the spacing between the first magnetic ring 58, the second magnetic ring 59, and the third magnetic ring 60 is relatively uniform. When the electromagnet 34 is energized, it will first attract the nearest first magnetic ring 58, and the attraction between it and the first magnetic ring 58 will be the strongest. While attracting the first magnetic ring 58, the first limiting bolt 62 and the second limiting bolt 65 will pull the second magnetic ring 59 and the third magnetic ring 60 closer to the electromagnet 34. Further, the second magnetic ring 59 and the third magnetic ring 60 will be attracted in sequence, thereby fixing the movable block 53 in the position of the electromagnet 34 and maximizing the spacing between the two clamping plates 36.To improve structural stability, multiple first limiting grooves 61 and first limiting bolts 62 are configured in conjunction, multiple second limiting grooves 64 and second limiting bolts 65 are configured in conjunction, and multiple third limiting grooves 71 and third limiting bolts 72 are configured in conjunction. Two springs 35 address accuracy issues, effectively preventing mechanical collisions caused by positional deviations of the second detection unit 11 during placement and removal. The different compression degrees of the two springs 35 accommodate positional deviations of the second detection unit 11 on the loop conveyor belt 9 during placement and removal. Furthermore, after removing the second detection unit 11 from the loop conveyor belt 9, the two springs 35 center the fixing plate 20 for positional correction. This allows the robotic arm 12 to quickly fix itself to the clamping block 21 at the operating port 14 using the clamping member 13.

[0033] The guide rail 27 includes a sliding plate 37 and a support bar 38 connected in a "T" shape. One side of the support bar 38 is connected to the cavity wall of the configuration cavity 8, and the other side is connected to the middle of one side of the sliding plate 37. A sliding groove 39 is provided on one side of the electric moving seat 28. The sliding groove 39 and the sliding plate 37 are slidably connected. A drive hole 40 connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 39 is provided on the side of the electric moving seat 28 away from the sliding groove 39. A drive motor 41 is installed on the electric moving seat 28 at the position of the drive hole 40. A gear 42 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 41. A rack 43 matching the gear 42 is vertically provided on the side of the sliding plate 37 facing the bottom of the sliding groove 39. One side of the gear 42 passes through the drive hole 40 and enters the sliding groove 39 to mesh with the rack 43. A rotating wheel 45 is connected to the side of the sliding groove 39 where the sliding plate 37 and the support bar 38 are connected by a rotating rod 44. The outer wall of the rotating wheel 45 rolls and fits against the sliding plate 37. This setup uses the drive motor 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 42 to rotate. The meshing relationship between the gear 42 and the rack 43 drives the electric moving seat 28 to move up and down along the sliding plate 37, thereby moving the electric second detection unit 11 up and down to install different second detection units 11 on the robotic arm 12.

[0034] A third electric telescopic rod 46 is installed at the free end of the robotic arm 12, and a clamping member 13 is installed at the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 46. By setting the third electric telescopic rod 46, the overall length of the robotic arm 12 can be controlled more flexibly, thereby expanding the detection and processing radius of the robotic arm 12, thus realizing the detection and processing of railway and railway perimeter locations.

[0035] The second inspection unit 11 is one of a weld flaw detector, ultrasonic flaw detector, or camera. The processing tools include cleaning tools, mechanical clamps, screw tightening tools, grinding tools, or other tools suitable for handling railway issues. Different inspection equipment and processing tools are installed on each fixed frame 10, allowing the robotic arm 12 to be equipped with different inspection devices to perform targeted inspections of high-risk locations as needed. This improves inspection accuracy and enables the timely handling of issues after inspection, such as removing hard, adhered objects from railway tracks using cleaning or grinding tools. Compared to traditional fixed-function inspection vehicles for railway inspection, this method offers greater versatility and flexibility.

[0036] It also includes a processing module, an AI analysis module, and an early warning module. The first detection unit 4, the second detection unit 11, and the loop conveyor belt 9 are all electrically connected to the processing module. One end of the AI ​​analysis module is electrically connected to the processing module, and the other end is electrically connected to the early warning module. The AI ​​analysis module, trained with extensive knowledge of railway-related technologies and railway defect prevention, can intelligently analyze the railway-related data collected by the processing module, mark risk points and risk levels, generate risk reports, and send these reports to the early warning module. The early warning module then issues corresponding risk warnings based on the risk reports.

[0037] A calibration rod 47 is installed on the inner side of the loop conveyor belt 9. An infrared emitting unit 48 and a laser ranging unit 49 are arranged on the side of the calibration rod 47 facing the loop conveyor belt 9. An infrared receiving unit 50, matching the infrared emitting unit 48, and a ranging plate 51, matching the laser ranging unit 49, are installed on the fixed frame 10. The ranging plate 51 is mounted on the fixed frame 10 via an adjusting rail 52. When the loop conveyor belt 9 moves the second detection unit 11, the fixed frame 10 is judged to be in position by whether the infrared receiving unit 50 receives the infrared signal emitted by the infrared emitting unit 48. By adjusting the position of the ranging plate 51 on the adjusting rail 52, the distance between the ranging plate 51 and the laser ranging unit 49 can be adjusted according to different second detection units 11, thereby determining whether the second detection unit 11 has correctly moved to the position of the operating port 14.

[0038] The system also includes a second car body 66 connected to the rear end of the first car body 1. The second car body 66 has second track wheels 67 installed at its lower end. An operating platform 68, an operating seat 69, and a lighting fixture 70 are sequentially arranged on the upper side of the second car body 66.
